Bofu-tsusho-san - a Kampo preparation indicated for the treatment of obesity - was administered to obese SAS patients for a duration of eight weeks, and its usefulness was tested. To all patients, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, the standard treatment for SAS was provided. For this reason, the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) was kept to a mild level or below, and changes were not observed in the approximate administration of Bofu-tsusho-san. Significant changes in Body Mass Index (BMI), neck girth and abdominal girth, were not observed, either. However, ESS scores were observed decreasing over time, with a significant difference after eight weeks of administration..
